Comments, questions, feedback:

Comments very welcome ;)

People really seem to be interested in the nanos recently. Interesting. Anyway, I'm glad you're using linear targeting - that means it should be no problem for WeekendObsession ;). -- Simonton

Im pretty sure N won't be the bot to supplant WeekendObsession, and besides, my bot has a critical flaw ;p -- Baal

By the way, I've also played [n] a little and it rocks :). -- Kev

This is tempting me to try squeezing surfing into a nano again, last time I missed by about 300 bytes, I have a few new tricks now that might allow me to dump some pointage. --Chase-san

A surfing nano would probably dominate, if you could fit a gun in there :P -- Baal

Heh, unlikely, however just surfing itself without firing could land it in a pretty high slot. I think it can be done, I'm just gonna have to cut so many corners i'll only have a small diamond left, a diamond in the rough. --Chase-san

Heh, guess 1.31 is proving to be a problem for WeekendObsession :P --Baal
